It i8 not in linn with the Oregon Spmt

does not seem to he generally under

the benefit of the student body, then

“1 HAVEN’T TIME”
”1 would love to do it, but you know
ally 1 just simply haven’t the time,"
How many times we hear this and how
many times we indulge in the remark
too! When someone begins to wish for
more hours in the day and cites as proof
positive that he needs more time than
there is, to accomplish his many and
manifold duties, just refer him to the
(took entitled, "How to love On Twenty
Four Hours a Day."
When n student thinks he cannot take
1 full share in the athletic and social
(vents of the school and show an active
Interest in his college paper, V. M. or

Masswork, U is because he does not pro
portion hi time rightly. Me certainly
has no right to assign as reason for his
inability to accomplish what he deesires,
io lack of twenty-eight hours in the day.
Very often the people who accomplish
nest are apparently never "rushed to
Jeath." These efficient people have the
lame number f hours in their duy as
other people, but they employ all of their
time to advantage and plan their time
ji advance.
Most people make u budget of some
lort for tin expenditure of their money
uni many also plan their work, so why
aot make out a schedule, n budget if
fou will, of time?
Under such a system it would he per
fectly possible to decide ut a business

in-portion of time each activity was to

Such a plan, even if not strictly ad
3ered to, would at least show cue at the

If the olfl adage about time being money
is true, why not keep as accurate a

Why not add to college work schedule

DEAN WALKER
Dean Walker leaves this afternoon for
Comp Zachary Tay'Jor after a service for
Oregon running through a period of six
years during whi< h time he demonstrated
eontainually his ability as a lender in the
University and his love of Oregon and
the Oregon Spirit. Especially duiing the
past two years, with the student body
j largely without upperclassmen, Walker
has been the big leader in keeping the
i new men close to the Oregon traditions
and perpetuating in the fast-changing
student body the old Oregon fight.
Beginning his career as uu Oregon
student by making his letter in football
the first fall, Walker continued through
his course of four years as a member
of all the \ arsity football and basket
ball teams in these years. Three times
he aided in the defeat of O. A. C. in
football. Mo games were played in his
junior year. Since Walker's graduation
in '111 lie bus continued to serve Oregon
well. He returned and served as gradu
ate manager during the year 191-4-15.
In 1910 Walker loft Ids business and
produced a winning freshman team for
Oregon in a two months stiny on the cam
pus. Again he returned to help Oregon
in the fall of 1917, serving as director
of intra-mural athletics and frosh coach.
This year, until his resignation was forc
ed that he might attend officers’ train
ing school, lie served ns graduate man
ager in addition to his other duties, and
all during the time was active in pro
motin'' the welfare and Oregon Spirit
in the student body.
Among the alumni of this University
who hove made glorious the name of
Oregon, Walker hnR made a record for
earnest service. When the was is ended
and the old Oregon men have returned,
Oregon Spirit he has helped so much to
foster during tire critical years will
demand that he, too, return to his work
for the lemon-yellow.
Save the Emerald. It gives you the
campus news. Without it the co-opera
tion of a united student body through
which comes the Oregon Spirit would he
impossible. Do not let Oregon decay.

WRITES FROM FRANCE.

Dr. Edmondson Tells of Habits
of Shellfish; Urges Their
Use as Food.
The next time you go clam digging,
and dig and dig, and the clam keeps
moving just beyond your shovel, don’t
feel too bad. For all clams don’t stay
"put” ns mud clams do, and it is prob
dy a razor clam you are pursuing. The
razor clams are the only ones that have
much mobility. They shoot down
sometimes shoot off to the side in the
sand with amazing speed.
(’lams and their economic vjlue were
the special study during the past sum
mer of i »r. ('. II. Edmondson, of the
zoology department, w! o worked tinder
the direction of the TJ. Bureau of
Fisheries. Study of the life history,
spawning season, and transplanting of
clams as a possible food conservation
measure made up the bulk of his work.
One-half a ton of clams were trans
planted from California to the coast of
Lincoln county. Razor clams, which arc
used extensively for canning. Dr. Ed
mondson found very scarce. The only
place he found many was in Clatsop
county. About five years ago they were
plentiful along the coasts but most "f
c beds have been destroyed. The de
struction was probably due to the storms !
along ttic open coasts and the shifting
of the sands, is the belief of Dr. Ed
mondson. However they are returning
and it will not be long before there will
be many along the Oregon coasts.
lie tried transplan’ing same of these
also, but the results of these experi
ments. both with these and the Califor
nia clams, cannot be determined for per
haps a few years yet.
Oregon has hut one ela.n cannery, sit
uated at Tillamook. Washington has
several. However, these seem to be de
stroying the beds and hindering develop
ment.
According to Dr. Edmondson, the eco
nomic value of (d uns has heretofore been
generally underestimated. It ;s just re
cently that tourists to uhe Washington
and Oregon coasts are Ending out the
food value and are canuing them to take
home, so perhaps their use will become
more extensive.
The government is urging 'he use of
more fisli in food conservation end for
this part of Oregon Dr. Edmondson says
all the clams one wants may < nsil.v be
had at Florence on the Lane county
< oast.
NEW “OVER THERE” PARODY
Company A Sonn Passes Censorship of
Officers.
Inspired at first through efforts to
slum rival drill companies, numerous
parodies on popular songs have appeared
on the campus since tin1 opening of the
S. A. T. C., and one song at least from
Company A men has passed censorship
rules. Officers have ruled against the
first songs aiming at taking a “crack"
at seme particular group.
The Company A song to the tune of
“Over There:”
Company A. Company A,
Clear the way, clear the way, for Com
pany A,
Oh look out, we're coming, we sure are
coming,
We’re coming stronger every day.
Don’t you see. we'll make you see,
We're a heck of a good Company,
Host at drilling, we’re best at fighting.
Oh we’re host at everything—we're
Company A.

More Than Twice as Much as
Last Year to Be Raised in
Thorough Canvass.
The raising of $G,600 is the goal set
by the committee in charge of the War
Work Drive on the campus, according
to Dr. A. E. Caswell, campus director.
This is a trifle more than twice as much
as was raised last year for the different
organizations. The committee, whose
members are representatives from the
Y. M. C. A.. Y. W. C. A„ faculty, alum
ni, and non-S. A. T. C. men, plans to
make a canvass of every student on the
campus and every faculty member.
A plan of voluntary subscription is to
be worked out whereby every person
may have an opportunity to make a sub
scription without being asked to pledge.
It is planned that there shall be a can
vassser in every sorority, and several
canvasssers in the barracks.
An accurate tab will be kept on every
student through the use of a card cata
logue, which will contain the names of
every student and the amount which he
has pledged.
At the conference held in Portlan
October 6, the colleges of the Northwe
pledged themselves to raise $100,Oft
The amount to he raised in the Unite
States is three times as much as wa
raised for last year, while the Universit,
has set as its goal an amount only twic ■
as large as was subscribed here at tha.
time.
